Wow tight in 8GB eh? Sounds like quite a collection!

Another piece of advice? If those reference PDF's are technical and using several fancy fonts per page. You might want to have someone with an iLiad check one for you before you spend a pile of $$$.

Some others have wound up disillusioned with the ability of the iLiad at displaying their technical PDF's. It could spend 45 seconds or more rendering just one page or it could just plain crash trying to render certain pages.

The iLiad has a limited amount of RAM and thus a limited amount of memory to cache font bitmaps in. If the page used 4 or 5 fonts, especially embedded fonts, the rendering performance per page could get lengthy. Or if there wasn't enough RAM the PDFViewer would just crash the iLiad.
